Well, we ended school today with a big party...the kids exchanged Valentine's and had lots of candy, cupcakes, and cookies. Here a few pics from the celebration...
Here is Alexis being silly...
And here is the sugar load in her hand...this pink icing was on everyone by the end of party time...but the kids had a blast!
Then they went outside to burn off all of the sugar...here is Alexis doing "underdog" with a boy at her school...
And here is another one of her buddies pushing her on the swing...
Then we came home and decided to make red velvet cupcakes some of which are supposed to be hearts...here are the tins filled with the batter...looks good (you will see I mean that literally later...Alexis kept wanting to save half of the batter for her to lick or drink!!!)
Then we realized that we probably filled them a little too full...oh well...
The top 6 are supposed to be the hearts...not bad...
Then we put the icing on...mommy glopped it on (isn't that the best part) and Alexis carefully spread it on like butter...
And luckily we were just making these for us (don't know why we made this many, but...) because Alexis was licking more icing than she was getting onto the cupcakes...
Now it was time to decorate...and instead of buying Valentine's sprinkles, etc. that we would probably end up throwing away when we move in July, we decided to use the Halloween and Christmas sprinkles we still have left...
Alexis dumped a little too much on this one, but that is ok, all the better to eat!
And here are the Christmas/Valentine's cupcakes on the left and the Halloween/Valentine's cupcakes on the right...and yes, they are delicious!
Like I said earlier, here is Alexis licking the batter...don't know that red was the best idea...
After licking as much batter as she could, Alexis posed with the red roses daddy sent us...
And here she is with the roses again with as cleaned up of a face as I could get! HAPPY VALENTINES EVERYONE!!!
